WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr15523

• Pattern: pry-1 expression revealed expression in almost all tissues during development. Expression in seam cells, neuronal cells, muscles, hypodermis, and intestine was readily visible. The most enriched tissues include neurons and muscles. A closer examination of GFP localization in developing animals revealed bright fluorescence in the ventral cord region, which includes neuronal and non-neuronal cells. The expression was largely similar in adults, although the fluorescence was much higher in BWMs. The posterior end of the intestine, near the rectal opening, showed a strong signal in L4 and adult animals; however, the rest of the intestine lacked a detectable expression.

any of 20 large epithelial cells which form a tube and are mostly situated as bilaterally symmetric pairs around the tubular lumen. Each of these cell pairs forms an intestinal ring ( II-IX int rings). The most anterior intestinal ring (int ring I), however, is made of four cells. Intestinal cells contain large nuclei with large nucleoli and numerous autofluorescent granules in their cytoplasm.	intestinal cell		WBbt:0005792
